Velvet Hearts! pays tribute to historic Black performers with variety show

Features | Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh City Paper: As Black History Month comes to a close this weekend, Velvet Hearts!, the multi-city troupe of queer burlesque, drag, and sideshow acts, will present Pay Tribute, a night of performances dedicated to groundbreaking Black artists who have paved the way for future generations. Now in its third year, the show — taking place on Sat., Feb. 29 at the Red Light Lounge in McKees Rocks — will likely be the only local event of its kind highlighting Black History, according to Pay Tribute host, Arla White.
